Ha Long Bay
Limestone islands rising from emerald water, best seen from a quiet deck as the morning mist lifts.
- Best season
- March to May, September to November

Thousands of limestone islets and pillars fill the Gulf of Tonkin. We choose routes away from the busiest channels, so you can kayak into hidden lagoons and watch the bay turn silver at dusk with only a few other boats in sight.
